Family-friendly vacation rentals in Illinois

This is our 2nd time staying at James's beautiful Galena home. James thought of everything. All the kitchen appliances that you need to make your meals. Plenty of room for everyone. James was quick to respond and very helpful. We plan to stay here again.

This was our second visit to Amanda’s and just like the first time, it left my boys with fun memories. We will be back next summer.

This was our third time staying at this property and we’re looking forward to stay again next time we’re in Chicago. Hans was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The place is spacious and comfortable. It’s quite, full equipped kitchen and nice backyard. I highly recommend this place

Stayed here for a girl’s trip! The home is lovely. The game room downstairs was a blast. The deck in back was perfect for drinks and conversation at night and calm morning coffee in the morning! Todd is quick to respond if anything is needed. Would definitely go back

This home was SPECTACULAR. It was spotless. Even the outside decks had zero spider webs or cobwebs. It was like we were in our own world, no distractions. Frogs and crickets made for lovely sleeping. If I could give this a 20 star rating I would. We loved seeing the wildlife, including the cows that showed up at the fence the last day. We didn't want to leave. You will not be disappointed by this property.

Very nice place to host our large family Christmas gathering. Plenty of room for everybody. The game room was very much appreciated and well used.

We had a wonderful stay. It’s in a beautiful country setting surrounded by stunning nature. The perfect getaway if you want to get away from all stress. Will definitely book again next time I’m in the area

Stephen was a great host. The grounds are beautiful! Very peaceful and quiet. The house is nice and cozy. I will definitely stay there again!

Beautiful home, great location and had everything we needed for our stay. We will be back!

My fiancé and I enjoyed staying at the cabin. It was nice to be staying in a cabin and having a little get away while visiting family in Waterloo. Rika responded very quickly and is very communicative which I love that. Overall, we love it and will want to come back and stay at the cabin when visiting family.

We loved our stay at Kyle’s place - it was decorated SO cute (I went with two girlfriends and I’m pretty sure we all squealed with joy when we first opened the door). The location was perfect - just a quick walk to all the shops and restaurants Logan Square had to offer - and to public transportation (which we used the whole time in Chicago). The neighborhood was very peaceful and quiet; we all felt very safe. When I come back to Chicago, I will absolutely be staying here again. Thanks for sharing your space with us, Kyle! We loved it! (Side note: you gave me so many ideas for house decor, your style is impeccable!)

Just like the description! Pet friendly with a beautiful fenced in back yard!

Jamie was a really amazing host! She was friendly, helpful, caring and went over and beyond to make sure me and my kids were comfortable and had everything we need. Gave us lots of great recommendations to restaurants and as a first timer in Chicago she made sure I was aware of the traffic and other helpful information! My kids LOVE her she was vey nice, patient and gentle with them. Kid friendly house/area VERY quiet. The beds are the BEST after a long day of traveling very comfortable. The place was beautiful very nice decor and nicely maintained. We will definitely be staying here on our next visit to Chicago.

Beautiful inside and out.

Place was just as described. Easy instructions to enter and house manual was clear. Steve checked in to ensure all was well upon arrival

Excellent séjour et des conseils précieux de la part d’Emilia quand on en a eu besoin

Beautiful views, great layout, and extremely dog friendly with nice touches make this place stand out! Very close to all the state parks in the area, but there’s plenty to do on site as well. Check in was seamless, we had clear instructions throughout, and the place was perfect!

This was our second time at Ho Hum East and we had a great time! The new deck updates were super nice adding outdoor space to layout food and enjoy most meals on the deck. The outdoor kitchen wasn't completed yet but, will be a great addition to the new deck when it's done. The main bath was newly remodeled and was very nice and spacious. The lake front was well maintained and a great space for us to spend most of our time enjoying the water, sun, fishing, boating, nature and wildlife. The dock was a little wobbly although, we were told that was being replaced at some point but it worked for us. The airbnb owner provided a paddleboard, rubber raft, corn hole boards and other outdoor items to use. The proximity of the home was only a few minutes from amenities i.e. pool, golf course, beach and The Cove (restaurant). The only drawback is all the steps - it would be great if there was a pulley system or other system to take items up and down the steps from the house to the lake front.

Thanks Ryan. We had a great time.

Proposed to my girlfriend out there and it was so beautiful and peaceful thank you!

This was a great spot. The surrounding area is really beautiful, especially when I visited (in the late spring), and lots of the house layout helps you appreciate this, whether it’s inside or out. The home is spacious, the fire pit was lovely at night (and well stocked), and the host was plenty responsive. Would stay again.

Even better than advertised. Sandy was wonderful and so was the home. We were very pleased with our stay and her communication. The house is in a nice, quiet neighborhood, close to the strip, around golf courses, wineries, great food, fishing, historical places, and kayaking. Thanks again Sandy, we will be talking to you soon I’m sure.

Beautiful and eclectic home. It was perfect for our group of girls visiting from all over the U.S to attend our HS Reunion. Plenty of lovely spaces to gather or a private, quiet nook to read or rest. The pool was wonderful. Beds were super comfortable. Kitchen was large enough and well stocked to prepare meals. Andy was very responsive with any issues or questions. Highly recommend!

We had a great time ! The house was beautiful clean and had so much to do. Location was perfect ! Would definitely visit again. Great hosts !
